once you sign your name to the license, you have signed some of your rights away in exchange for the privelege of operating that vehicle on public roads.

Exactly right, under duress and/or fraud, and probably as a minor.

Every activity that does not harm or unreasonably endanger others is a right. Any other definition of rights is arbritrary, inconsistant and unsupportable. Automobile operation is not an inherently dangerous activity (if it IS, then why do all these people get to endanger me as a pedestrian?? Because they took a 20 question test and drove around the block once?)

Spare me.

Judging by how often and the way the word 'right' is used, I can only conclude that we really don't have any 'rights'.
